Switching to infobrowser is not possible. Octave uses some switches
specific to info (and maybe other info browsers):
octave:1> info_program("/usr/bin/pinfo")
octave:2> doc root
Przemek's Info Viewer v0.6.9
/usr/bin/pinfo: unrecognized option '--directory'
/usr/bin/pinfo: unrecognized option '--index-search'
Searching for indirect done
Searching for tag table done
So, I'll drop the virtual package infobrowser from the dependencies.
